I think the problem is that the phrase you are trying to translate is somewhat idiomatic.
When you say, "Try it and see what happens" I assume you mean, “If you attempt to do the thing I have warned you against, you shall face my retribution.” But it could mean “perform the experiment and observe the results.” And it could mean a lot of other things too. It all depends on the context. |

Still dumb but i'll take another swing at it.
Venit (they come?) et Vizit (they see?) delectum (destruction). ETA: nope, way off base. ETA also- it's a good thing I am not an ambassador because I myself might start a war |

It all depends on the context. Growing up Dad would always tell us "Try it and see what happens" when we asked him a question. When he put up an electric fence we asked him a dozen questions about how it works etc. and also how bad did it shock the animals. He told us to try it and see what it felt like. We would ask about making dry ice bombs and he would say try it, see what happens. My brother and I see it as the official family motto. It must also be lucky, because we made it thru childhood in one piece. |

I posted before you gave the full context. In your case, the verb you seek for "try" is "tento." If you want it to be a plural imperative, the conjugation is tentate; singular is tenta. |

I'm not sure if accido or facio should be the root verb for "happens" in this context, nor what conjugation to use.
The rest should be as follows (singular and then plural addresses): Tenta et vide quid (happens). Tentate et videte quid (happens). |

I could read cicero's orations to the senate and most of the shit from Pompeii etc but when anyone asked me to say something in Latin I would always say semper ubi sub ubi. When people asked why I took Latin classes I referenced the quote,"a wise man need not know Latin, but should have at least forgotten it." |

Tenta ut eventum videbis.
Try, so that you shall see the outcome. I like the ut clause in this case: I think it preserves some of the intent of the idiomatic expression. "Tenta" is imperative affirmative singular, and "eventum" is accusative singular; with the verb "videbis", "you shall/will see." This may not be correct, I'll have to research how the purpose clause can invoke an imperative. But it looks correct to me. |

As for the rest of what you typed, I have no clue what it means... (It's Greek to me) |
